Our Growing China Problem
American Thinker.com ^ | March 20, 2021 | Jeff Lukens

Posted on 03/20/2021 5:20:42 AM PDT by Kaslin

The People's Republic of China is an existential threat to the national security, health, and prosperity of the United States. Communist China has viewed the U.S. as its primary enemy since its founding by Mao Zedong in 1949. For Beijing, the idea of the Chinese people embracing American-style freedoms is always a threat to their rule. We are a threat to them just by being who we are. As such, we must be attacked.

Over the years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has expanded its economy and military relentlessly, intending to supplant America in world prominence. And now, with a doddering and corrupt Joe Biden in the Oval Office, the CCP may be in a position to make their boldest moves yet.

The CCP's goal has been to defeat the U.S. through countless attacks below the threshold of war. They use our openness against us for intellectual and economic theft. So far, their strategy has been to gradually grow their strength while weakening us through a myriad of cyberattacks and other actions below the level that would prompt a kinetic military response. It is a stratagem of war by other means worthy of Sun Tzu.

For insight on their strategy, we turn to a brilliant book, Unrestricted Warfare. China's Master Plan to Destroy America, written by two PLA colonels, which contends that war between the U.S. and China is inevitable. With that premise, the book says the CCP must be prepared to use whatever means are necessary to achieve victory. These actions include economic warfare, cyber warfare, information warfare, political warfare, terrorism, biological warfare, and conventional and nuclear warfare. The book's purpose was to shape Chinese policy and set U.S. policymakers' idea that the CCP regards nothing off the table.

What makes more sense? That one day China, needing food, space and resources attacks the underpopulated , rich areas of Russia’s Pacific regions and the treasure house that is Siberia or it goes to war far across the Pacific and tries to conquer America? America one day will realize that General MacArthur was wise and prescient. A war in Asia does nothing to enhance the well being or security of the American people. The nations of Asia must establish their own concensus.

It depends on who they are more afraid of at the time.

But there's no need. America has already conceded it's manufacturing, technology, and as of January 6 our government to the communists. What do they gain by starting a war at this point?

The MODERN LEFT is an existential threat to the national security, health, and prosperity of the United States.

Fixed the typo in the very first line of the article.

If our so-called ‘freedoms” are threatening them, Biden is taking care of that.

Just putting it out there.

Now you can’t even criticize China without the woke zombies canceling you as a Nazi, racist, white supremacist, blah, blah, blah.

Your statement is only partially accurate.

Actually, China is using the American Left (MODERN LEFT) and its own vast network of spies and business interests as a non-military pincer movement (double envelopment strategy) against the U.S.

CIRCA 2020 Timeline: Allegations and evidence surrounding the Biden Crime Family's
CCP business dealings; Hunter Biden reportedly has a direct phone line to the Politburo

WJLA ^ | 10/26/2020 | Stephen Loiaconi / FR Posted on 10/26/2020, 5:41:29 PM by marcusmaximus

Documents released in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential race have shed some new light on the business dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son and other relatives, but many questions remain about both the sources of the records and their relevance to Biden’s bid for the presidency.

“I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life,” Biden said during a debate with President Donald Trump.

Biden’s denials have not stopped Trump from demanding the Justice Department investigate his opponent for unspecified crimes or asserting that Biden is “COMPROMISED” by his family’s financial ties to China and other countries.

Earlier this month, emails allegedly recovered from a laptop that once belonged to Biden’s son Hunter were obtained by The New York Post. Subsequently, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, came forward to verify some of those emails and lodge his own accusations against the Bidens.-snip-

Here is what we know about Hunter Biden’s business activities and how they became intertwined with his father’s tenure as vice president and his presidential campaign.

Beginning in 2013
Dec. 2013 Hunter Biden flew to Beijing with his then-VP father, and his daughter Finnegan, on Air Force Two on official US business in China.

During the visit, Hunter met with one of his business partners, a Chinese banker named Jonathan Li. Hunter and Li were both involved with Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co., an investment firm that was officially registered less than two weeks after Hunter’s visit.

(NOTE: Journos and other US officials on the trip say they had no idea Hunter was conducting personal business in China.)

Hunter held an unpaid position on BHR’s board of directors while his father was in office and became a shareholder with a 10% stake in the company in Oct. 2017. (NOTE That invesrment is now woeth some $50 million.) (Excerpt) Read more at wjla.com ...

A picture is worth a thousand words.

“So Hunter, how’d you and your dad makeout in China?”

=======================================

On the official diplomatic trip in 2013, w/ his then-VP father, and his daughter, few people were aware Hunter was
closing in on a billion dollar business deal w/ the Joe Biden explained it away as a "family vacation." Hunter, his
daughter, and his father, did all the touristy things, even went to a Chinese teahouse.....on the taxpayers' dime.

This photo of the Bidens in a Chinese teahouse comes from Obama's presidential archives.

The parasitic Bidens sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers. Hunter Biden, left, his father Joe, Hunter's daughter
Finnegan Biden, right, at a teahouse in Beijing during an official diplomatic trip in 2013. (Official White House Photo
by David Lienemann)

AND THIS The ever-opportunistic Hunter arranged for VP Joe Biden, to be photographed in China shaking hands with the CEO of BHR......Hunter's business partner.

The lying Hunter Biden described this as a "social meeting."

But in the dark world of global finance, even an addled druggie like Hunter knows, your picture shaking hands w/ the US vice president, is worth gazillions.

Same thing with a war in Europe. Time for Europeans to man up and build their own army/armies.

toasts

Then-VP Biden toasts China's XI. "Here’s why I’m toasting this Chink. My view for many years is that a rising China is a positive development, and that the Biden family can become billionaires as long as we Democrats force American taxpayers to invest in Beijing’s success. Some anti-globalists see China’s growth as a threat, entertaining visions of a cold-war-style rivalry or great-power confrontation. Other Chinks worry that our aim in the Asia-Pacific is to contain China’s rise,” Biden wrote. “I reject these views. “I remain convinced that a successful China can make our country more prosperous, not less,” he added.

====================================================

(h/t Greenfield)

Yet, underneath all the Biden sucking-up rhetoric about the ennobling virtues of globalism was some very parochial and familial profiteering. In 2013, Joe and his son Hunter Biden flew on Air Force Two to China. China’s BHR Partners was founded that year and included Hunter Biden as a board member. The Delaware Board of Trade was incorporated in 2013. Despite its name, the DBOT was not a government agency, but a penny stock startup which received a $3 million loan from New Castle County.

After Joe's wet kiss to XI, the big Chinese partner in the BHR arrangement was Harvest Fund Management which, coincidentally enough, in 2012 was targeting Hollywood with an $800 million investment fund. That same year, you could find Bruno Wu, who had been working with Harvest, and Chris Dodd, along with Harvey Weinstein, playing roles at the Asian Film Summit in Toronto.

And the money didn’t just go one way. The Delaware Board of Trade was incorporated in 2013.

Despite its name, the DBOT was not a government agency, but a penny stock startup which received a $3 million loan from New Castle County. (Delaware is Joe Biden’s home state which he repped as a US Senator.)

New Castle County had approved the issue of $15 million in revenue bonds to fund the DBOT “stock exchange” by touting the “globally recognized leaders in the financial services industry” running it. DBOT’s founders included people with experience in stock exchanges and financial services, and Dennis Toner, who was described as a “top aide to Vice President Joe Biden.”

Toner, Biden’s deputy chief of staff, is in the news for denying that Tara Reade ever told him anything. Reade’s decision to tell Toner and Ted Kaufman was a pretty poor one. Both are longtime Biden men and considered as close to the boss as family. And they’ve reaped the benefits of that closeness.

After Obama won, Ted Kaufman was temporarily appointed to the Senate. If there was anything odd about appointing a Biden advisor to sit in the Senate, it became odder when Senator Kaufman delivered the opening statement in favor of Toner’s appointment as Post Office Governor, by vouching for his “loyalty” working for Joe Biden. Tara Reade might as well have taken her complaint to Biden, as to Toner and Kaufman. The current New Castle County exec has since called DBOT’s founders criminals and threatened to sue after the company was disposed of as a “distressed asset” in exchange for shares of Ideanomics. Ideanomics is a Chinese crypto company trading as a penny stock and the software that served as collateral for the loan has been described as worthless. The chairman of Ideanomics is Wu.

The manager of DBOT-I LLC was listed as John Hynansky. The car dealer is a Biden pal with extensive Ukrainian ties who had lent Biden’s shady brother half a million dollars and had received $20 million in government loans to start a Porsche luxury car dealership in the Ukraine. Biden’s vaunted foreign policy expertise has consisted of sucking up to broker deals between Biden family members, donors, and foreign interests. These deals haven’t been good for America, but they’ve worked out very well for members of Biden's crooked family, as well as assorted donors, camp followers, and the local boys.

==================================

But Biden's biggest deal was helping broker the Chinese takeover of the American entertainment industry. Xi’s visit to Los Angeles hit on all the right cultural notes. He schmoozed Hollywood bigwigs and their errand boys, like Dodd and Biden, he watched a Lakers game, and cheered Obama’s 100,000 Strong China initiative to have a hundred thousand American students study in the Communist dictatorship.

“I can say with confidence my visit has been a full success,” Xi declared.

In China, culture serves the agenda of the Communist government. Unlike the Russians, who struggled vainly to stem the impact of American culture, their Chinese counterparts decided to control it at the source. Biden was a key figure in negotiating the terms on which the PRC would control Hollywood.

In 1962, the Manchurian Candidate depicted an effort by Communists in China, Russia, and elsewhere to kidnap and brainwash American soldiers. The modern remake replaced the Communists with a corporation and the Chinese doctor with a South African geneticist. China could not be offended. While Biden, Katzenberg, and Xi were partying at the Marriot, human rights protesters were calling for freedom, and being arrested by the henchmen of a one-party Democrat city and state for their trouble.

Even while Biden was falsely claiming that the Hollywood sellout would improve human rights in China, the rise of China was already violating human rights in America. Now, as Chinese drones fly over American cities, police stalk empty streets, social media monopolies monitor every single phone, and Democrat officials dismiss the Bill of Rights while locking up millions of people, our rights are gone. And Joe Biden is the Manchurian Candidate who long ago sold out the country he now seeks to rule.

Our Growing China Problem

Partner, "The Clintons" said that the U.S. should not be the No. 1 country in the world so it is time to get the Chicoms involved in the world.

The Clintons have not spent a day in jail yet they have given freely all of our High Tech weapons systems to the Chicoms.

W. did not even care what the Chintons did. W. was a complete failure when it came to the presidency.

The Imposter Obama gave the Chicoms everything they wanted and even gave them the ingenuity and especially all the dwgs. of our assembly line technology.

The Imposter Obama did everything he could do to undermine the U.S. technology advances in everything you can think of doing.

President Trump was the only president to do the opposite with the Chicoms.

Biden is extending what the former Imposter President did with the Chicoms.

The Chicoms have every technology that the west has given them and they even gotten "Hong Kong" free of any cost whatsoever. Now, the Chicoms want Taiwan free of any charges. I call that a big Bravo Sierra.

The Biden administartion is not at all interested in foreign policy, they’re only interested in re-engenering and transforming American society according to the Obama agenda. They only see foreign policey as something on their check list so they can manipulate perceptions of Biden so they can engineer their agenda..and they frankly botched that....just as they did with Putin. They just appeared tough secure those two flanks because all they’ve got going is covid and the relief plans......that’s all they had when Biden ran and that’s all he’s even remotely able to speak about. Just like Obama acting tough but never able to be tough.

RR - Very accurate assessment. I’ve been saying all along, biden is china’s puppet.

All - Read the 1st paragraph of this article about 4 times. It is very much true, China is the greatest threat to not only America, but the world.

The CCP laid out a 100 year plan in 1949 to dominate the world. The US is their greatest obstacle. Especially as long as we have an armed populace. They have been trying to take down the US for 70 years without starting an actual shooting war, they know they cannot win that one. Unless they just hand automatic weapons to 20 million ordinary citizens, drop them off in New York, Miami and Wackifornia, and tell them shoot anything that moves, meet in the middle.

Otherwise, they have to take the US down by other means, without conventional warfare. Kung flu is part of it, fentanyl is part of it, biden and many other politicians are being used as puppets in yet another facet of it, I think corporations are in it too, and the invasion on our southern border most likely is being directed from china. That’s why gun control is such a big part of democrats’ agenda. They cannot take over until we are disarmed.

Now go read that 1st paragraph 3 or 4 more times...

Over a year ago I made the comment about the CCP being an existential threat to us....a number in this forum told me I was nuts and “need to be educated”.

They’re doing it quietly but are compromising *everything* and we’re too stupid to not see it and let it happen.

BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could t nhreaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay
Let’s not forget members of the Biden campaign the demons boastfully acknowledged that Covid 19 really helped get Biden in
